Oddly enough I agree with pretty much all of that. I was able to let go enough to enjoy the sheer entertainment qualities of Transformers (I didn't expect it to be anything but what it was, and I wasn't disappointed). Other than that there's a darn good list right there DPW._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

I don't know why this movie sucked so bad, I must have repressed it from my memory. But I know that I hate it.

One movie I was thinking about the other day that I was really disappointed with was Public Enemies. Christian Bale + Johnny Depp, I thought it would be great. Instead, it was awful. Not even worth a rewatch.

I'm a John Dillinger fan, so I liked Public Enemies (and have re-watched it a few times ), but I thought it could have been a lot better. It was more a documentary than a movie in some ways._________________

Well, I've given this a lot of thought because I've seen a lot of really bad movies, but I have to say the winner is....

Avatar. James Cemeron's Avatar is one of the worst films ever made. Ever. Of all time._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

I used to rag on Avatar but I saw it again and thought it wasn't that bad. Its Pocahantus in space, but it isn't terrible..._________________

I've seen it twice, and one was after nearly a year.

Its derivative, its lazy (unobtanium is a sci-fi joke, why the hell would Cameron think he can be clever), its preachy, its character work is cliche and makes no sense, and its so predictable I probably didn't even need to ever see it because I could have just guessed in the right direction and gotten it. James Cameron is always preachy but this was too much, and it was just so poorly executed and so thinly plagiarized that its embarrassing. The fact that its the most successful movie of all time pains me when there are so much better films coming out all the time._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice.

I agree that it was preachy and unoriginal, but I thought it was quite entertaining._________________

He Lucas-ed. Pretty graphics don't make up for lack of story or character development _________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Oh, there was character development, it was just cliche character development. _________________

I'm gonna have to add one to the Avatar h8.

Doesn't count, those characters have been developed enough...in other films...for decades

Not surprising at all actually, though I love that there are more of us out there. Its the most over-hyped movie I've ever seen._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.
